i'd rather work with carbs, just because its easier to work on myself and cheaper (not needing mapping sensors etc)
So, im starting with a Standard 2.0 pinto engine, wanting to stay with carbs, what are the first steps you guys would reccomend for tuning this engine.
twim webers, exhaust manifold (will the rs2000 one fit to a capri??)
cam... what else is there to do?

CAM,CARB,EXHAUST,HEAD work very well on these not necessarily in that order.
Ask yourself what you want from car power wise, then you will know what spec to do it to, there is a good book by SPEEDPRO, how to power tune ford sohc engines.
I had a few pinto's, 2.1's work well using V6(cologne) pistons, had head by Roland Hayes(HT racing) who are masters of pinto, high torque cam, 32/36 carb in a auto sierra, was way faster than my friends 2L sierra manual injection, and good on the gas as well.
You need to know how much power you want before you know what is best to do.

go for twin sidedraughts,big cam,nicely flowed head,get the bottom end
lightend and balanced,knife egde the crank, performance ignition system
if you still got some money left over enlarge the valves etc
also slap in some hi comp pistons
my mate had an engine
like that in his mk2 escort and it went really well, gave a few
turbocharged car owners bit of a fright lol.
also dont forget good flowing headers and exhaust, a 5-speed box behind
it makes all the difference to.
